DBIx::ProcedureCall version 0.03
=============================

NOTE:
While the interface provided by DBIx::ProcedureCall is 
database-independent,
only Oracle is currently implemented.

When developing applications for an Oracle database, it is a good
idea to put all your database access code into stored procedures.
This module provides a convenient way to call these stored
procedures from Perl by creating wrapper subroutines that
produce the necessary SQL statements, bind parameters and run
the query.

	use DBIx::ProcedureCall qw(sysdate);
	my $conn = DBI->connect(.....);  
	print sysdate($conn);


INSTALLATION

To install this module type the following:

   perl Makefile.PL
   make
   export ORACLE_USERID = 'username/passwd@dbname'
   make test
   make install
   
The ORACLE_USERID is only needed to connect to the database
during "make test" and will not be stored anywhere.
The test uses the database read-only.

DEPENDENCIES

This module strictly speaking does not require, but is pretty useless without
these other modules:

  DBI
  DBD::Oracle
